Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld filed his taxes on Tuesday with an added twist: a letter telling the IRS that he had no idea whether his return was, in fact, accurate.

Despite the fact that I am a college graduate and I try hard to make sure our tax returns are accurate...I know that I do not know whether or not my tax returns are accurate, which is a sad commentary on governance in our nation's capital," Rumsfeld's letter reads.

The letters phrasing appears to allude to Rumsfelds famous unknown unknowns statement in 2002, when he said, in reference to Iraqi weapons programs, that there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we dont know we dont know.

The letter was revealed via a tweet Rumsfeld sent out Tuesday afternoon with a picture of the letter.

He shouldn’t worry. The IRS would have to read it to find out what’s in it. These days, most government employees don’t bother to read anything anyway. Especially those commie jugheads up on Capitol Hill.

Dear Donald,
There IS a common sense, liberty based fix for the despotic tax system under which we stupidly suffer.
It’s described in the 4 1/2 minute video at the link.
